Rangers sign Hearts striker.

Rangers boss Walter Smith has snapped up the former Hearts striker Andrius Velicka.

The 29-year-old Lithuania international moves to Ibrox from Viking Stavanger in a £1million deal.

Smith told the Gers' official website: "He didn't play in the last couple of games for Viking but that might be that they were making sure he didn't suffer any knocks before coming to join us.

"We'll let him get involved in training this week and then make a decision on whether we use him in the remaining matches in pre-season."

Velicka scored 26 goals in 56 appearances for Hearts.
